Description

Now in its 5th edition, Escourolle & Poirier Manual of Basic Neuropathology continues the tradition of being one of the most respected texts in neuropathology by providing an introduction to the various diseases of the nervous system and their underlying pathology. This thorough, yet concise manual covers the full spectrum of the various categories of neurologic disease, including neoplasia, trauma, vascular disease, and infection, with separate chapters on prion diseases, multiple sclerosis, degenerative disorders, acquired metabolic diseases, hereditary metabolic diseases, congenital malformations, perinatal diseases, skeletal muscle, peripheral nerve, and the pituitary gland. To accurately guide the clinician, the most current techniques in neuropathology are covered in their own chapter at the end of the book. Richly illustrated throughout, with over 700 images of various neuropathogical diagnoses such as tumor, stroke, infection, degeneration, and malformation among others, this new edition of the classic monograph is an easy-to-use manual for any student, researcher, or practitioner seeking basic information on neuropathology.Used for decades in all fields related to the nervous system-including neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, neuroradiology, neuroendocrinology, neuropathology, pathology, and neuroscience- Escourolle & Poirier Manual of Basic Neuropathology is regarded at the 'bible' of neuropathology. This new version has been completely rewritten and expanded to include important updates in genetics and molecular biology, reflective of the important neuropathological discoveries in those fields over the past decade.This book is a practical diagnostic tool and necessary reading for anyone encountering pathological conditions of the nervous system.

Reviews and Awards

"Overall, with its comprehensive but authoritative description of most of the neuropathological conditions that physicians in training might encounter in routine practice, this book is an invaluable tool with numerous high quality pictures and clear, concise discussions. It is also inexpensive and compact compared to other neuropathology books and can be a useful tool in board preparation. This update was essential given the recent changes in the fields of neurology, pathology, and neurosurgery over the past decade." -Doody's Health Sciences Book Review

"As a concise easily readable introductory text, with numerous high quality illustrations supplemented with short clear figure legends, this book is a 'must-have' for anyone wishing to learn or revise the basics of neuropathology; be they a student, trainee, experienced specialist or scientist." --Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology

"The Escourolle and Poirier's Manual has been a great resource for trainees in pathology and neuropathology on the basic concepts of neuropathology since its first edition. ... [T]his new edition of Escourolle and Poirier's Manual is a great tool for every professional interested in a practical but detailed review of the diseases of the nervous system." --Neurosurgery

"The book will appeal to a wide audience, including neuropathologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, general anatomic pathologists, and their trainees. Its length makes it suitable as a text for residents and fellows rotating through neuropathology, but even experienced neuropathologists will find themselves reaching for this slim volume when they need a quick but authoritative summary on a particular topic. The book is a delight to read. The text is well organized, clearly written, and nicely illustrated..." --Journal of Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology
